Ralph:
My two 2400's have had orig HD's and replacements (4 gb and 10 Gb
IBM), and have been moved daily between three docks as well as flown
to Premeir Executive on United for four successive years without any
HD problems. The pressure inside the plane cabin is nearly the same
as on the ground, anyway, so don't worry.
So, what if any problems have occurred? My only problem was with the
one 2400 that I had upgraded with the Newer 240 MHz. It lost the
backside cache capability, though still runs well. The Interware 300
MHz in the other 2400 has done well and not had any problems at all.
